沃尔夫冈·提尔曼斯

Wolfgang Tillmans first made a name for himself in the early 1990s through photographs that have attained iconic status for their evocation of the mood of an entire generation, with its carefree urge for freedom and its desire to seize life’s moments. Soon, however, he widened his focus, experimenting with the means of photography to develop a new visual language. He created his images with and without a camera and also using a photocopier. In addition to traditional genres such as portrait, still life and landscape, this catalogue, following the artist's personal exhibition at Fondation Beyeler in Basel, presents abstract works that play with the limits of the visible. Thus, it shows how Wolfgang Tillman’s work is concerned with the creation of images rather than with photography in the conventional sense.

Co-published by Haje Cantz and Fondation Beyeler, on the occasion of the artist's personal exhibition (May 28 - October 1st, 2017).
